From experience, the iOS and iPadOS Remote work best when all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. For example, we tried controlling an Apple TV on a Wi-Fi connection from an iPhone using a cellular connection. The iPhone remote worked on the first connection but stopped detecting the Apple TV after some minutes.
All you need to do to get going is download the Ezzi Keyboard app on your Mac and then turn on your Bluetooth settings. Once you have done this, you can pair your Mac with your Apple TV and begin using the Ezzi Keyboard as a remote.
Apple Tv Remote App For Mac
Just like the Ezzi Keyboard app, you can navigate between TV menus and select different shows by using the app on your Mac. The app currently has a rating of 4.1 / 5 on the app store making it the most reliable third-party Bluetooth remote app.
I often can go into remote app and devices settings on the AppleTV, see "Office" in Xcode's Devices and Simulators, click Pair, and entering the code correctly pairs so I can run. (I didn't unpair on either end.)
I've tried removing the paired computer from the Apple TV's list of remotes and devices, re-pairing from Xcode, rebooted both machines... nothing is working. No matter what, Xcode just seems stuck in a loop where the pair never completes.
So i'm noticing something.. If I uninstall Xcode, and just keep apple configurator 2 installed I am able to pair all my devices and they consistently work. That doesn't help much for development but it is making me think its something to do with Xcode.
The Apple TV is an underrated product that Apple is trying to show some more love by creating more integration with its other products. With streaming becoming so popular and mainstream media dying rapidly, we might actually finally begin to see widespread adoption of the Apple TV. If you already have an Apple TV and are new to the product, you might feel a little confused about how to work things around smoothly. It can take a bit of time to get used to all the features out there, but read on to find out how to use the Apple TV remote app and other tips and tricks to help you out.
The Apple TV remote app is a sleek and minimal app that allows you to control your TV via AirPlay 2. All Apple TVs come with the Siri remote, and the remote app does a good job of trying to replicate the physical hardware with the touchpad taking up most of the screen so you can navigate easily. The remote app features include:
The primary way to open the remote app is through the Control Center. The Control Center is present in multiple places on your iOS device. When you unlock your phone and swipe on the right half, it slides open a screen with various nodules and buttons. Here, you can find the remote app. Alternatively, if you have something playing on your Apple TV, your iPhone automatically picks that up through the AirPlay 2 connection. Just like your AirPods, you can open the remote app by clicking on the icon next to the media player on your lock screen. Since Apple got rid of the app, this is the only way you can open the Apple TV remote on your iOS 16 device.
Did we mention the remote control companion app for Android and iPhone? No? Well, it's pretty cool. It lets you control all Airflow features from the comfort of your couch. And it's completely free!
This article explains how you can download, install and setup the Apple TV app on your iOS device (iPhone or iPad); so that you can control your Apple TV. This will enable you to use your iPone or iPad as a remote. This will have many advantages, like:

I really dont know if you guys know what you are telling us. How can we go to setting of apple tv if we dont have the remote control. Thats the reason why we want to use ios device to control apple tv.
There's a bit of a catch-22 for this one. To set up an old TV or DVD remote to act as an Apple TV remote, you will need a working Apple TV remote to begin the procedure. I suggest you use the Remote app to set things up.
Grab an old remote and use the Remote app to head to Settings > General > Remotes > Learn Remote on your Apple TV. Hit the Start button and press and hold buttons to assign each one a function. It will walk you through the basic buttons first: Up, Down, Left, Right, Select and Menu.
After setting up the basic buttons, you can then program additional buttons for play, pause, fast forward, rewind and 30-second skips backwards and forward. This gives you more functionality than the minimalistic Apple TV remote offers itself. Plus, a clunky old DVD remote is harder to lose.
If neither of the above options are feasible or attractive, then you'll need to buy a new Apple TV remote. At the time of writing, Apple will sell you the older, Siri-less silver remote for $19 (15, AU$25). Or you can get the newer Siri Remote for $79 (79, AU$129). You'll get free two-day shipping if you buy it in the US.

A couple of suggestions and one question:S1 - Could you please publish a Table of Contents for this streaming book? That would inform readers if a topic of interest to them will be covered. If it seems like something will not be covered, readers comments might suggest an scope expansion of your book.S2- Chapter 2 does not mention configuration of 'Computer", which toggles home-sharing on/off. This is required to stream content from your computer. Setting up a homeshare, which involves having an apple id, valid credit card registered with apple, etc., ail have to be explained. Hmmm, I wonder which chapter that will be ????Q - Of particular interest to me knowing how to setup 2 apple tv's and 2 iMacs on the same house.

I was unsuccessful during my first attempt at this, hence my question. I will also keep trying and will let you know how I make out. 2ff7e9595c
